• 7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I agree that we wait for the Departmental Committee to give us a comprehensive report, the answer that has been given to me this afternoon is a bit misleading. Part “b” of the answer states: “The Pyrethrum Board of Kenya has made arrangements to pay farmers on a monthly basis.” What we are asking for are arrears relating to 2008/2009. So, even as we wait for the Committee to respond to this issue, farmers continue to suffer because they are waiting for the payment. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I come from a pyrethrum-growing area. The sector has been brought to its knees because of the Government regulations in issuing licences to potential investors. Could the Minister inform this House the amount of time that is required to register a company in this country? In so doing, can he inform us what progress or improvement we have made over the years? This is because every single day we lose while waiting for this Bill, the youth of this country continue being unemployed because investors cannot come into the country. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could the Minister tell us when we should expect the e-registry to be functional? When should we expect companies to register electronically? view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The question was: “When will the companies register electronically?” We would like the Minister to give us a date so that we can hold him to that date. I am sure many investors are waiting to hear that date because it will really help in improving business environment in this country. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Constitution has specific timelines. There is nothing new that the Assistant Minister is going to read from the Constitution in terms of timelines. It appears like he is not clear as to what he would want to inform this House. We have been accused, and Dr. Nuh has mentioned this aspect of sitting here past midnight. Given the gravity of this issue, am I in order to ask that this Question be deferred, so that he can come with specific timelines that will ensure that this House does not ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead this House? Teachers within Ndaragwa Constituency were put under the category of hardship allowance back in 2009. To date, they have not been paid. So, if it is a question of the communication being made to the Ministry, that was done by the Minister himself, hon. Otieno, in 2009. To date, they have not been paid. They even have a judgement from the court. Is he in order to mislead this House that they cannot do anything until they have been advised ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is showing insensitivity towards the teachers. I have talked of a case that dates back to 2009 and he still asks for a month. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Is the Assistant Minister in order to just continue being insensitive to the plight of teachers across the country and especially those living in Maragua? view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister for Forestry and Wildlife, Dr. Noah Wekesa, to sit next to Prof. Olweny and keep smiling while he knows that this is a problem that cuts across the country? He visited my constituency recently. Ndaragwa Headquarters are within the forest area and there are institutions within the forest in Ndaragwa Constituency. The Minister is aware of this fact. Is it in order for him to deny the necessary assistance to his colleague, who has been labouring to answer questions in this House? view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, but you have negotiated me out of my earlier five minutes. However, I will still use what I have been given. I would like to support this Motion and at the same time commend the Assistant Minister and hon. Pesa for this Motion. This is an issue that we have raised on this Floor. I want to thank hon. Mwatela because he has, on this Floor, confirmed that they are aware of the plight of these teachers. I am happy to see that they pushed this matter until the Minister for Finance provided for ... view
